Perth Glory sack coach Alistair Edwards

Perth Glory has announced the club is parting ways with head coach Alistair Edwards.

The club confirmed on Tuesday night that Edwards will no longer coach the Glory.

Glory chief executive Jason Brewer said Edwards was not willing to cooperate with a series of measures the clubs' board had endorsed to address issues between players and coaches.

Edwards had a dispute with Glory captain Jacob Burns last week who blew up after being left on the bench in favour of Edwards' sons, Ryan and Cameron.

After talking to the players Brewer, with the backing of the board, made some recommendations that would enable the club to move forward.

Edwards would not agree to any reconciliation with Burns and it is understood he demanded the club sack the captain.

Brewer says it's disappointing Edwards and the club had differing views on the way forward.

"It was with a lot of regret that I had to inform Alistair Edwards this afternoon that he would no longer be the coach of Perth Glory for the remainder of this season," Brewer told reporters on Tuesday night.

"There was an incident last Friday after the Melbourne Victory game that involved a number of raised voices between the playing staff and the coaches."

Brewer said he was given the task by the board to investigate the dispute.

"Unfortunately after two days of discussions with the head coach we weren't able to reach agreement.

"We felt as a board those measures could have been implemented effectively and resulted in this club moving forward and competing for a finals position."

He said the club has already begun the search for a new coach and expects to announce an interim coach within 24 hours.
